Effortlessly charismatic and dripping in sarcasm, Isle Of Wight’s indie sensation Lauran Hibberd drops her Sweat Patch video, the latest addition to her colourful patchwork of sparkling slacker pop.Arriving hot on the heels of critically acclaimed debut EP Everything is Dogs earlier this autumn, Hibberd’s prolific songwriting and playful personality is encapsulated once more in her newest fizzing cut, with the visuals arriving at the end of the newcomer’s hugely successful UK/EU support tour alongside US punk rockers The Regrettes.
With substantial praise across the BBC Radio 1 airwaves (Annie Mac, Huw Stephens, Jack Saunders) and throughout the online community (The Line Of Best Fit, Dork, Clash, Gigwise), not to mention notable comparisons to contemporaries Courtney Barnett and Phoebe Bridgers, it’s evident the singer-songwriter has made quite the statement over the last twelve months.
Having produced a rousing display on Glastonbury’s BBC Introducing stage, in addition to a slew of supports with Hippo Campus and her own biggest headline gigs to date, Hibberd’s reputation on the live circuit has grown significantly, and with a second headline tour already lined up for February 2020, the newcomer looks primed to bring her unique performance to even bigger audiences.
Discussing her video, Hibberd explained: “Here is my annual workout, brought to you by a closing down gym with the most unfit people I could find on my fine home turf – the Isle of Wight. Shot by Skinny Mammoth Productions, body by Lauran Hibberd and friends. DVD coming soon, Sweat Patch PT 1”.Lauran Hibberd’s Sweat Patch video is out now.
